DUI/DWI offenders in Rye are occasionally given the chance to participate in a drug rehab center instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for such offenses can occasionally be very harsh, including incarceration and serious fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for new offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Rye who are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more serious penalties, many will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
