DUI/DWI offenders in Overland are sometimes given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can often be rather extreme, including incarceration and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Overland who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other far more serious punishment, a great number will stay away from the court system permanently.
