DUI/DWI offenders in Paradox, Colorado are occasionally given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of offenses can ordinarily be quite serious, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Paradox, Colorado that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional extreme penalties, a great number will remain out of the court system for good.
