DUI/DWI offenders in Port St. Joe, Florida are sometimes given the chance to take part in a drug rehabilitation facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can often be very harsh, which can include jail time and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Port St. Joe, Florida who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more serious consequences, a great number will stay away from the court system for good.
