DUI/DWI offenders in Cherokee, AL. are often given the opportunity to take part in a drug treatment center as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be quite severe, including jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the issue.
