DUI/DWI offenders in Amherstdale are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for such offenses can often be quite severe, and may include jail time and serious fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for initial offenders, the court will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Amherstdale that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other more extreme consequences, a great number will remain out of the court system permanently.
