DUI/DWI offenders in Emporia, Kansas are often given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for such crimes can ordinarily be quite extreme, which can include jail time and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Emporia, Kansas who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other far more serious penalties, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
