DUI/DWI offenders in Goodells are occasionally given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather severe, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Goodells who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more severe penalties, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
