DUI/DWI offenders in Preston are sometimes given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite harsh, including incarceration and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Preston that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more serious punishment, many will remain out of the court system for good.
