DUI/DWI offenders in Lyndhurst are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can ordinarily be quite severe, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the court finds that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lyndhurst that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other additional extreme consequences, most will stay out of the court system for good.
