DUI/DWI offenders in Raymond, MS. are sometimes given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab center in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be very serious, which can include jail time and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Raymond, MS. who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more serious consequences, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
