DUI/DWI offenders in Old Harbor, Alaska are sometimes given the chance to take part in a drug rehab facility instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can often be quite severe, and may include jail time and serious fines and various significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the court will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Old Harbor, Alaska that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other more serious consequences, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
