DUI/DWI offenders in Tallevast are sometimes given the chance to take part in a drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can often be rather serious, including incarceration and serious fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the judge will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Tallevast who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional serious penalties, many will remain away from the court system for good.
