DUI/DWI offenders in Tipton are often given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite extreme, including incarceration and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Tipton who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional serious punishment, many will remain away from the court system for good.
