DUI/DWI offenders in Kiowa, Oklahoma are often given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of crimes can ordinarily be very severe, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for initial offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Kiowa, Oklahoma that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme punishment, most will stay away from the court system permanently.
