DUI/DWI offenders in Bearden, AR. are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of crimes can often be rather harsh, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for first time offenders, the judge finds that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Bearden, AR. who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more severe consequences, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
