DUI/DWI offenders in Port Monmouth are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug treatment facility instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for such criminal offenses can occasionally be quite extreme, which can include jail time and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Port Monmouth who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other more severe punishment, most will remain away from the court system for good.
