DUI/DWI offenders in Montello, NV. are occasionally given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment facility in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of crimes can ordinarily be rather serious, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the judge may decide that treating the problems 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 Montello, NV. who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme punishment, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
