DUI/DWI offenders in Firth are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can occasionally be quite harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Firth that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other far more extreme consequences, many will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
