DUI/DWI offenders in Las Vegas, NV. are occasionally given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these types of criminal offenses can ordinarily be very harsh, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Las Vegas, NV. that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more serious penalties, many will remain away from the court system permanently.
