DUI/DWI offenders in Dover are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these types of offenses can ordinarily be rather severe, including incarceration and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the judge will decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Dover who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more extreme penalties, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
