DUI/DWI offenders in Jasper are sometimes given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for such crimes can occasionally be very extreme, which can include incarceration and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the judge finds that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Jasper that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, many will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
