DUI/DWI offenders in Exeter are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment center instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of criminal offenses can often be quite extreme, and may include jail time and serious fines and even significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for initial offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Exeter who are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other far more serious penalties, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
