DUI/DWI offenders in Hop Bottom are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be very serious, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hop Bottom that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more extreme penalties, many will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
