DUI/DWI offenders in Clarksville are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for these types of crimes can ordinarily be very harsh, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Clarksville who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other additional serious consequences, many will remain away from the court system for good.
