DUI/DWI offenders in Tippo, Mississippi are often given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug treatment facility instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of offenses can occasionally be rather severe, including incarceration and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Tippo, Mississippi who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional severe punishment, a great number will stay out of the court system permanently.
