DUI/DWI offenders in Homeworth are often given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for such offenses can occasionally be very severe, which can include incarceration and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the judge may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Homeworth who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other far more severe consequences, many will stay away from the court system permanently.
