DUI/DWI offenders in Holmes are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug rehab center in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be rather severe, including incarceration and significant fines and various significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Holmes who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious punishment, a great number will stay away from the court system for good.
