DUI/DWI offenders in Tonganoxie are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug treatment facility instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can occasionally be rather severe, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time 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 full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Tonganoxie who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other more serious punishment, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
