DUI/DWI offenders in Denton, Kansas are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can often be very extreme, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for new offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Denton, Kansas who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious penalties, a great number will stay out of the court system for good.
