DUI/DWI offenders in Everett, Washington are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can occasionally be rather serious, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and even significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for new offenders, the court may decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Everett, Washington that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other far more extreme penalties, most will stay out of the court system for good.
