DUI/DWI offenders in Pratt are often given the chance to participate in a drug treatment center as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite severe, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Pratt that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other more severe consequences, many will stay out of the court system permanently.
