DUI/DWI offenders in Wallagrass, ME. are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment center in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for these types of offenses can often be very harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for new offenders, the judge finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Wallagrass, ME. that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more extreme penalties, a great number will stay away from the court system for good.
