DUI/DWI offenders in Schuylerville are sometimes given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can occasionally be quite harsh, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Schuylerville that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more serious penalties, most will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
