DUI/DWI offenders in Cushing, Maine are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for initial offenders, the judge will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Cushing, Maine that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more severe penalties, many will stay away from the court system permanently.
