DUI/DWI offenders in San Carlos, AZ. are often given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can ordinarily be very extreme, and may include jail time and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for first time offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in San Carlos, AZ. that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other more extreme punishment, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
