DUI/DWI offenders in Cuervo, New Mexico are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for such criminal offenses can occasionally be rather harsh, including jail time and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the issue.
