DUI/DWI offenders in Slanesville are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug rehab program in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for such crimes can occasionally be very serious, and may include jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the judge finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Slanesville that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more serious consequences, many will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
