DUI/DWI offenders in Henderson are occasionally given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for such crimes can occasionally be quite severe, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Henderson who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme consequences, most will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
