DUI/DWI offenders in Osage Beach, MO. are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can occasionally be quite harsh, which can include jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Osage Beach, MO. that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more extreme penalties, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
