DUI/DWI offenders in Colbert are often given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can often be rather serious, and may include jail time and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Colbert that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other additional severe penalties, many will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
