DUI/DWI offenders in Raphine are occasionally given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for such crimes can often be rather severe, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the judge will decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Raphine who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other far more serious punishment, most will remain away from the court system permanently.
