DUI/DWI offenders in Cumby are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can often be rather harsh, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Cumby that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other additional extreme punishment, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
