DUI/DWI offenders in Lisbon, NH. are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug rehab program instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of offenses can often be rather harsh, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the court finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lisbon, NH. that are lucky enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other more extreme penalties, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
