DUI/DWI offenders in Jackson are often given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab program in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be quite serious, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the court may decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Jackson that are lucky enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other far more extreme consequences, many will stay out of the court system for good.
