DUI/DWI offenders in Sloan are often given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for such offenses can occasionally be very harsh, including incarceration and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for first time offenders, the court may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Sloan that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more severe penalties, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
