DUI/DWI offenders in Carroll are sometimes given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, which can include jail time and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for first time offenders, the court may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Carroll who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional severe penalties, many will remain away from the court system permanently.
