DUI/DWI offenders in Atlantis, FL. are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for these types of crimes can ordinarily be rather extreme, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the judge will decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Atlantis, FL. that are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other additional serious consequences, most will remain out of the court system permanently.
