DUI/DWI offenders in Montgomery are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug rehabilitation facility instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for such crimes can ordinarily be rather extreme, including incarceration and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the judge finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Montgomery who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more extreme consequences, most will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
