DUI/DWI offenders in Passumpsic, VT. are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather severe, and may include being locked up in jail and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the judge finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Passumpsic, VT. that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other more serious punishment, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
