DUI/DWI offenders in Steens, MS. are often given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can occasionally be quite serious, including incarceration and serious fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the judge may decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Steens, MS. that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme consequences, most will remain out of the court system permanently.
