DUI/DWI offenders in Little Rock Air Force Base are often given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such crimes can occasionally be rather extreme, and may include jail time and serious fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Little Rock Air Force Base who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more serious punishment, a great number will stay away from the court system permanently.
