DUI/DWI offenders in Butler are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug rehab center in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather extreme, and may include jail time and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Butler who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe consequences, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
