DUI/DWI offenders in Stanberry are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for such offenses can ordinarily be rather extreme, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Stanberry who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other far more extreme punishment, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
