DUI/DWI offenders in Wakarusa, Kansas are often given the opportunity to participate in a drug treatment program instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for such offenses can occasionally be rather harsh, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for initial offenders, the court may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Wakarusa, Kansas that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional serious penalties, most will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
