DUI/DWI offenders in Curtice are often given the chance to take advantage of a drug rehab center as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be very extreme, including incarceration and substantial fines and other significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Curtice that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional serious penalties, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
