DUI/DWI offenders in Marshall are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of crimes can often be quite severe, including incarceration and serious fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Marshall that are lucky enough to be able to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more extreme penalties, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
