DUI/DWI offenders in New Milton are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of a drug rehabilitation center instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be very severe, and may include incarceration and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for new offenders, the court finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in New Milton that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other additional serious punishment, most will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
