DUI/DWI offenders in Caneyville are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of offenses can often be quite severe, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Caneyville that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other far more severe penalties, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
