DUI/DWI offenders in Eden, Vermont are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be very serious, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the court will decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Eden, Vermont that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other additional extreme consequences, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
