DUI/DWI offenders in Summerdale, Alabama are sometimes given the chance to take part in a drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these types of crimes can often be quite extreme, and may include jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Summerdale, Alabama who are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more severe penalties, most will remain away from the court system permanently.
