DUI/DWI offenders in Corning are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these types of offenses can ordinarily be very harsh, including incarceration and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the judge finds that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Corning that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme punishment, many will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
