DUI/DWI offenders in Closplint are often given the chance to take part in a drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can often be quite severe, and may include incarceration and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the court may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Closplint who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious punishment, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
