DUI/DWI offenders in Jones Mills are sometimes given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be rather serious, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for initial offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Jones Mills that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other more extreme punishment, many will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
