DUI/DWI offenders in Dover are often given the chance to participate in a drug rehab facility instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be very extreme, which can include jail time and substantial fines and various significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Dover that are lucky enough to be able to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more severe consequences, many will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
