DUI/DWI offenders in Mission, Kansas are occasionally given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can often be quite harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the court finds that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Mission, Kansas that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme consequences, most will stay away from the court system for good.
