DUI/DWI offenders in Ellsworth, Nebraska are occasionally given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment center in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be quite extreme, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Ellsworth, Nebraska who are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme consequences, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
