DUI/DWI offenders in Tecumseh, MO. are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can often be quite extreme, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and even significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for new offenders, the court will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Tecumseh, MO. who are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional severe consequences, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
