DUI/DWI offenders in Lowndesboro, AL. are sometimes given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be quite harsh, and may include jail time and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for first time offenders, the court finds that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue.
