DUI/DWI offenders in Suquamish are occasionally given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be very serious, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for initial offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Suquamish that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other additional serious consequences, most will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
