DUI/DWI offenders in Elmo, MO. are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such crimes can occasionally be rather serious, including incarceration and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for initial offenders, the court will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Elmo, MO. that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more serious penalties, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
