DUI/DWI offenders in Sheridan, Missouri are often given the opportunity to participate in a drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for such offenses can occasionally be very harsh, including jail time and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Sheridan, Missouri that are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more serious penalties, most will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
