DUI/DWI offenders in Tonkawa, OK. are sometimes given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather severe, and may include incarceration and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue.
