DUI/DWI offenders in Barnum are often given the option to take part in a drug rehab program instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for such offenses can occasionally be quite extreme, which can include incarceration and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Barnum who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
