DUI/DWI offenders in Henderson, Kentucky are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of criminal offenses can often be quite extreme, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for first time offenders, the judge finds that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Henderson, Kentucky who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more severe consequences, most will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
