DUI/DWI offenders in Jewell Ridge are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment facility in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for such crimes can occasionally be quite harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the judge may decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Jewell Ridge that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other far more serious consequences, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
