DUI/DWI offenders in Green Valley are sometimes given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for such offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, and may include incarceration and significant fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Green Valley who are lucky enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other far more extreme consequences, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
