DUI/DWI offenders in Roslyn are occasionally given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these types of offenses can occasionally be rather serious, and may include jail time and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the judge will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Roslyn who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more extreme penalties, many will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
