DUI/DWI offenders in Jenkins are often given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment facility in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these types of offenses can occasionally be rather serious, including incarceration and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the judge may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Jenkins who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other more serious penalties, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
