DUI/DWI offenders in Century are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, including incarceration and serious fines and even significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for first time offenders, the court will decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Century who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more serious punishment, most will stay out of the court system for good.
