DUI/DWI offenders in Gunpowder, Maryland are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be very harsh, including incarceration and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem.
