DUI/DWI offenders in Tuckahoe are often given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can occasionally be quite serious, including jail time and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Tuckahoe who are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional severe punishment, most will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
