DUI/DWI offenders in Medina are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug treatment facility instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite severe, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the court finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Medina who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other more serious consequences, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
