DUI/DWI offenders in Blue Springs, Missouri are occasionally given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be quite severe, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the issue.
