DUI/DWI offenders in Vado, NM. are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for such offenses can ordinarily be quite harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Vado, NM. that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other more severe punishment, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
