DUI/DWI offenders in Semora are sometimes given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of crimes can often be rather extreme, including incarceration and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Semora who are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe punishment, many will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
