DUI/DWI offenders in South Haven, Kansas are sometimes given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for these types of crimes can ordinarily be quite serious, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in South Haven, Kansas who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional serious consequences, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
