DUI/DWI offenders in Union City are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in a drug treatment center instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite extreme, including jail time and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the judge will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Union City that are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more serious punishment, many will stay out of the court system permanently.
