DUI/DWI offenders in Choctaw, AR. are often given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be very serious, including incarceration and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the judge will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Choctaw, AR. who are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious consequences, many will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
