DUI/DWI offenders in Covington, IN. are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of crimes can occasionally be quite extreme, including incarceration and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Covington, IN. who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other far more extreme punishment, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
