DUI/DWI offenders in Central Square, NY. are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can often be rather extreme, and may include jail time and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Central Square, NY. that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more extreme consequences, many will stay out of the court system for good.
