DUI/DWI offenders in Lauderhill, FL. are often given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab center instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can often be very severe, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for first time offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lauderhill, FL. who are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional serious penalties, most will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
