DUI/DWI offenders in Friesland are sometimes given the option to take advantage of a drug rehab center instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for such crimes can occasionally be quite harsh, and may include jail time and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the judge will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Friesland who are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other additional serious consequences, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
