DUI/DWI offenders in Palco, Kansas are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment program in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such crimes can often be very harsh, including jail time and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue.
