DUI/DWI offenders in Geneseo are occasionally given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of offenses can often be quite harsh, and may include jail time and serious fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for first time offenders, the judge may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Geneseo that are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more severe penalties, many will stay out of the court system for good.
