Penalties for these types of crimes can often be rather severe, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue.
