DUI/DWI offenders in Fairfield, Idaho are sometimes given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for such offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Fairfield, Idaho that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more serious consequences, most will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
