DUI/DWI offenders in Keavy, KY. are often given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment facility in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite severe, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and even significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for initial offenders, the court finds 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 problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Keavy, KY. who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional serious consequences, many will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
