DUI/DWI offenders in Greenup are sometimes given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment facility in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be quite serious, including incarceration and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Greenup that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other more extreme consequences, many will stay away from the court system permanently.
