DUI/DWI offenders in Clitherall are occasionally given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite harsh, which can include incarceration and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Clitherall that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme consequences, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
