DUI/DWI offenders in Fort Wright are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can often be rather extreme, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the court may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Fort Wright that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other additional severe penalties, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
