DUI/DWI offenders in Putney, VT. are often given the option to participate in a drug rehab program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be very serious, which can include jail time and serious fines and various significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the court will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Putney, VT. that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme penalties, a great number will remain out of the court system for good.
