DUI/DWI offenders in Eastville are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can often be quite extreme, and may include incarceration and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for first time offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Eastville who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other additional extreme punishment, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
