DUI/DWI offenders in Emmalena, Kentucky are often given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab center as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be quite severe, and may include jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for new offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Emmalena, Kentucky that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other more severe punishment, a great number will stay away from the court system for good.
