DUI/DWI offenders in East Carbon are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be very severe, including jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in East Carbon who are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other more serious consequences, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
