DUI/DWI offenders in Coventry, VT. are often given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment program instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can often be rather severe, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and even significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Coventry, VT. that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme penalties, most will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
