DUI/DWI offenders in Broad Brook are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug rehabilitation program instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for such crimes can often be rather extreme, and may include incarceration and serious fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Broad Brook who are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe punishment, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
