DUI/DWI offenders in Eastchester, New York are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment program instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can often be quite severe, including incarceration and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for first time offenders, the judge finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Eastchester, New York who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more severe punishment, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
