DUI/DWI offenders in Tulsa, OK. are sometimes given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be very harsh, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and other significant 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 finds that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Tulsa, OK. who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more extreme punishment, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
