DUI/DWI offenders in Morgantown, Kentucky are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather extreme, and may include jail time and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Morgantown, Kentucky who are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other more serious penalties, many will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
