DUI/DWI offenders in Newburg are occasionally given the option to take part in a drug rehabilitation program instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite harsh, which can include jail time and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Newburg who are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other more severe penalties, most will remain away from the court system permanently.
