DUI/DWI offenders in Picacho, NM. are often given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for these types of crimes can ordinarily be very harsh, including incarceration and significant fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for new offenders, the judge may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Picacho, NM. that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other more extreme punishment, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
