DUI/DWI offenders in Upper Kalskag, Alaska are sometimes given the option to take part in a drug rehabilitation facility instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can ordinarily be rather extreme, including incarceration and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the judge will decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Upper Kalskag, Alaska that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more serious consequences, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
