DUI/DWI offenders in Bowdoinham, Maine are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, and may include jail time and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Bowdoinham, Maine that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other far more serious penalties, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
