DUI/DWI offenders in Winslow are occasionally given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab center in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can ordinarily be quite severe, including jail time and substantial fines and various significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for new offenders, the court finds that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Winslow who are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe penalties, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
