DUI/DWI offenders in Onset, MA. are sometimes given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be rather extreme, including incarceration and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for initial offenders, the court finds that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Onset, MA. that are lucky enough to be able to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional severe penalties, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
