DUI/DWI offenders in Five Points are often given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for such crimes can often be quite extreme, and may include jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is will prove more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Five Points that are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, many will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
