DUI/DWI offenders in Eufaula are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be quite extreme, including jail time and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for first time offenders, the judge finds that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Eufaula who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other far more serious penalties, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
