DUI/DWI offenders in Waterboro, Maine are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather serious, which can include jail time and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the judge may decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Waterboro, Maine who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more severe penalties, most will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
