DUI/DWI offenders in East Bridgewater, MA. are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug treatment center instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for such offenses can often be very harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in East Bridgewater, MA. that are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious penalties, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
