DUI/DWI offenders in Brookings, Oregon are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug treatment facility as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for these types of criminal offenses can ordinarily be very extreme, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for first time offenders, the court finds that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Brookings, Oregon who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other far more serious consequences, many will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
