DUI/DWI offenders in Bartow, Florida are often given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for such crimes can ordinarily be rather serious, and may include incarceration and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the court will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Bartow, Florida that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe penalties, most will remain out of the court system permanently.
