DUI/DWI offenders in Cimarron are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug rehab program in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these types of offenses can occasionally be very serious, including jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for initial offenders, the court may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Cimarron that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme consequences, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
