DUI/DWI offenders in Bedford, Ohio are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug rehabilitation center in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for these types of offenses can occasionally be rather harsh, including jail time and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the court may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Bedford, Ohio that are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more serious consequences, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
