DUI/DWI offenders in Ceredo are often given the chance to take advantage of a drug rehab program instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can often be very severe, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Ceredo that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional serious consequences, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
