DUI/DWI offenders in Boulder City are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of a drug rehabilitation center instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for such criminal offenses can occasionally be very serious, and may include incarceration and serious fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for new offenders, the court finds that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Boulder City who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more severe consequences, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
