DUI/DWI offenders in Tabernash are often given the opportunity to take part in a drug rehab facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be quite extreme, including jail time and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Tabernash who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional severe punishment, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
