DUI/DWI offenders in Indian Mound are occasionally given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite severe, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the court finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Indian Mound who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other additional severe consequences, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
