DUI/DWI offenders in Plymouth are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for such crimes can occasionally be quite serious, and may include being locked up in jail and significant fines and various significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Plymouth that are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other far more extreme consequences, most will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
