DUI/DWI offenders in Litchfield Park are often given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can often be very serious, including incarceration and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the court finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Litchfield Park who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more serious punishment, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
