DUI/DWI offenders in Long Key, Florida are sometimes given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can occasionally be rather severe, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Long Key, Florida that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more serious penalties, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
