DUI/DWI offenders in Liberty are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab center as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be very harsh, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Liberty that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional severe consequences, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
