DUI/DWI offenders in Slingerlands, NY. are occasionally given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be quite serious, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Slingerlands, NY. that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe punishment, a great number will stay away from the court system permanently.
