DUI/DWI offenders in Esmond are occasionally given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can often be rather harsh, which can include 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. More often than not, particularly for new offenders, the court will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Esmond that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other additional serious penalties, many will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
