DUI/DWI offenders in Arlington, AZ. are sometimes given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for such crimes can ordinarily be very severe, including jail time and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the judge finds that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Arlington, AZ. that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other more serious consequences, most will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
