DUI/DWI offenders in Scottsdale are occasionally given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for such crimes can often be quite harsh, which can include incarceration and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the court will decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Scottsdale that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more serious consequences, most will remain out of the court system permanently.
