DUI/DWI offenders in Atlantic Beach, FL. are often given the opportunity to take part in a drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can often be rather extreme, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Atlantic Beach, FL. who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other more serious consequences, many will stay away from the court system for good.
