DUI/DWI offenders in Winchester, Idaho are occasionally given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for such offenses can occasionally be quite harsh, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the judge finds that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Winchester, Idaho that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional serious penalties, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
