DUI/DWI offenders in Jones, Alabama are sometimes given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment program instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can ordinarily be very extreme, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for new offenders, the court finds that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Jones, Alabama who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other additional extreme consequences, most will stay out of the court system for good.
