DUI/DWI offenders in Lawrenceburg are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab facility in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be quite extreme, and may include incarceration and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lawrenceburg who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other far more serious penalties, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
