DUI/DWI offenders in Dayhoit are often given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be rather severe, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for first time offenders, the court will decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Dayhoit that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other more severe penalties, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
