DUI/DWI offenders in Stanhope are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab center as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for such offenses can often be rather harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and even significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Stanhope who are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme punishment, a great number will stay out of the court system permanently.
