DUI/DWI offenders in Salineville, Ohio are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite severe, and may include jail time and substantial fines and various significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for new offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Salineville, Ohio that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme penalties, most will remain out of the court system permanently.
