DUI/DWI offenders in West Point are often given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be quite extreme, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for new offenders, the court finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in West Point that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional extreme consequences, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
