DUI/DWI offenders in Dinosaur, CO. are occasionally given the chance to participate in a drug treatment facility instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of crimes can often be rather harsh, including jail time and significant fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Dinosaur, CO. that are lucky enough to be able to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional severe consequences, many will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
