DUI/DWI offenders in Glouster are often given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the judge finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Glouster who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other additional severe punishment, most will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
