DUI/DWI offenders in Newton, Kansas are often given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for such crimes can occasionally be very extreme, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for initial offenders, the judge will decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Newton, Kansas that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other far more serious punishment, many will remain away from the court system for good.
