DUI/DWI offenders in Warwick are sometimes given the chance to take part in a drug rehab program instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can ordinarily be very extreme, and may include being locked up in jail and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Warwick that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme consequences, most will stay out of the court system permanently.
