DUI/DWI offenders in Mulberry, TN. are often given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can often be quite serious, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the judge may decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem.
