DUI/DWI offenders in Canajoharie are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in a drug rehab center in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for such offenses can occasionally be rather extreme, including jail time and significant fines and various significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is will prove more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Canajoharie who are fortunate 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.
