DUI/DWI offenders in Winnetoon, Nebraska are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug rehabilitation center instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for these types of crimes can ordinarily be rather extreme, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem.
