DUI/DWI offenders in Elmont, NY. are sometimes given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be rather serious, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for new offenders, the judge finds that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Elmont, NY. that are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional severe punishment, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
