DUI/DWI offenders in Big Indian, New York are often given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of offenses can ordinarily be quite severe, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and even significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for first time offenders, the judge may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Big Indian, New York that are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more serious penalties, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
