DUI/DWI offenders in Castleford are often given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can often be very harsh, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for initial offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Castleford who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other additional extreme consequences, many will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
