DUI/DWI offenders in Tishomingo are sometimes given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for these types of crimes can ordinarily be very harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for new offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Tishomingo that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme consequences, many will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
