DUI/DWI offenders in Salisbury Center are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such crimes can often be very serious, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for initial offenders, the court finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Salisbury Center that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more extreme punishment, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
