DUI/DWI offenders in Genoa are often given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment center in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for these types of crimes can occasionally be rather serious, which can include jail time and serious fines and various 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 may decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Genoa that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more severe consequences, most will remain out of the court system for good.
