DUI/DWI offenders in Pathfork, Kentucky are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for such crimes can often be very extreme, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Pathfork, Kentucky that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other additional severe punishment, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
