DUI/DWI offenders in Powellsville are often given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab center instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of criminal offenses can occasionally be quite extreme, and may include incarceration and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for initial offenders, the judge finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Powellsville that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more serious consequences, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
