DUI/DWI offenders in Watertown Town, Massachusetts are occasionally given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these types of crimes can ordinarily be quite extreme, including jail time and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Watertown Town, Massachusetts that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more serious penalties, many will stay away from the court system for good.
