DUI/DWI offenders in Duluth, GA. are often given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be quite extreme, and may include jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Duluth, GA. who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other additional serious punishment, a great number will stay out of the court system for good.
