DUI/DWI offenders in Dry Prong are often given the option to take advantage of a drug rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for such criminal offenses can often be rather severe, which can include incarceration and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Dry Prong that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional severe consequences, most will remain out of the court system permanently.
