DUI/DWI offenders in Hellier are occasionally given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment center instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these types of crimes can ordinarily be very serious, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the court finds that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hellier that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more serious penalties, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
