The consequences for such crimes can ordinarily be rather harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for initial offenders, the judge may decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem.
