DUI/DWI offenders in Somerville, Ohio are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab center in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can occasionally be very harsh, including jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Somerville, Ohio who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious consequences, most will stay out of the court system permanently.
