DUI/DWI offenders in Alcalde, NM. are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment facility instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather extreme, which can include jail time and significant fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for initial offenders, the court finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue.
