DUI/DWI offenders in Petrey are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be very harsh, including incarceration and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for new offenders, the judge will decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Petrey that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other far more serious consequences, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
