DUI/DWI offenders in Eros are occasionally given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be very extreme, including incarceration and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the court finds that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Eros that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious penalties, many will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
