DUI/DWI offenders in Clipper Mills are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab center instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be quite harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Clipper Mills that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional serious penalties, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
