DUI/DWI offenders in Steamburg, NY. are sometimes given the option to take advantage of a drug rehab facility in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for such offenses can occasionally be very harsh, which can include incarceration and significant fines and various significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Steamburg, NY. that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other far more extreme consequences, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
