Penalties for these kinds of offenses can often be very harsh, including incarceration and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem.
