DUI/DWI offenders in Ocoee are often given the option to take part in a drug rehab center instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for such crimes can ordinarily be quite severe, including jail time and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Ocoee that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme penalties, many will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
