DUI/DWI offenders in Oxford, AR. are often given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment program in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be very harsh, including jail time and serious fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for new offenders, the judge finds that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Oxford, AR. who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more serious penalties, a great number will stay away from the court system for good.
