DUI/DWI offenders in Perkins are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment center as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite serious, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and other significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for initial offenders, the judge may decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Perkins who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional severe consequences, many will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
