DUI/DWI offenders in Water Valley are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug rehabilitation center as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these types of offenses can ordinarily be very extreme, including jail time and substantial fines and other significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Water Valley who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme consequences, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
