DUI/DWI offenders in Fairview are occasionally given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab program in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be very harsh, including jail time and serious fines and other significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for initial offenders, the court finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Fairview that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other additional serious punishment, a great number will remain out of the court system permanently.
