DUI/DWI offenders in Worthington Springs, Florida are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of crimes can ordinarily be quite extreme, including jail time and serious fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Worthington Springs, Florida who are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe consequences, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
