DUI/DWI offenders in Russellville, Kentucky are sometimes given the option to take advantage of a drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be very extreme, including incarceration and serious fines and various significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Russellville, Kentucky that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other additional extreme punishment, a great number will remain out of the court system permanently.
