DUI/DWI offenders in Calvert City are sometimes given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for such offenses can ordinarily be very severe, which can include incarceration and serious fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the judge will decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Calvert City who are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other far more serious penalties, most will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
