DUI/DWI offenders in Marlow are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can occasionally be quite serious, including incarceration and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Marlow who are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other more severe consequences, a great number will remain away from the court system for good.
