DUI/DWI offenders in Allston, MA. are often given the option to participate in a drug treatment center instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these types of offenses can occasionally be rather severe, which can include jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the court will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Allston, MA. who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe punishment, many will stay out of the court system permanently.
