DUI/DWI offenders in Brooks, ME. are sometimes given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can occasionally be very serious, and may include incarceration and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for new offenders, the court will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Brooks, ME. that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more serious consequences, most will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
