DUI/DWI offenders in Lansing, Kansas are occasionally given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can often be very harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the judge finds that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lansing, Kansas that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more serious consequences, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
