The consequences for these types of offenses can ordinarily be very severe, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the judge will decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for curbing the issue.
