DUI/DWI offenders in Aberdeen are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug treatment facility in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite serious, including incarceration and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Aberdeen who are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional serious punishment, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
