DUI/DWI offenders in Verplanck are often given the option to take advantage of a drug treatment facility in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be very severe, which can include incarceration and serious fines and other significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the judge may decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Verplanck who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other more serious punishment, a great number will stay away from the court system for good.
