DUI/DWI offenders in Mc Kean are often given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for these types of criminal offenses can ordinarily be very harsh, which can include jail time and serious fines and various significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the court will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Mc Kean that are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more serious consequences, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
