DUI/DWI offenders in Iuka are sometimes given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment program instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can occasionally be rather extreme, which can include jail time and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Iuka that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more severe punishment, many will remain away from the court system permanently.
