DUI/DWI offenders in Dugway are often given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be rather serious, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for initial offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Dugway who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more serious punishment, many will stay away from the court system permanently.
