DUI/DWI offenders in Marlborough are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be quite extreme, including incarceration and serious fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Marlborough that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more extreme consequences, most will stay away from the court system for good.
