DUI/DWI offenders in North Arlington, NJ. are often given the option to participate in a drug treatment program in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be rather severe, including incarceration and significant fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the court finds that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in North Arlington, NJ. who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other more serious punishment, many will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
