DUI/DWI offenders in Westport, Massachusetts are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab facility as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be very severe, which can include jail time and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Westport, Massachusetts who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other additional serious punishment, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
