DUI/DWI offenders in Cordell, Oklahoma are sometimes given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can often be quite serious, which can include incarceration and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Cordell, Oklahoma who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme penalties, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
