DUI/DWI offenders in Jeffersonville are occasionally given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be rather serious, and may include incarceration and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for new offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Jeffersonville who are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more serious penalties, many will stay away from the court system for good.
