DUI/DWI offenders in Carlin are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for such offenses can ordinarily be quite extreme, and may include jail time and serious fines and even significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for new offenders, the judge finds that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Carlin that are lucky enough to be able to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more severe consequences, a great number will stay away from the court system permanently.
