DUI/DWI offenders in Hatfield, Missouri are often given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment facility in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for such crimes can ordinarily be very harsh, including incarceration and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for new offenders, the court finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hatfield, Missouri who are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more serious punishment, many will stay out of the court system permanently.
