DUI/DWI offenders in Fountain Hills are occasionally given the option to take part in a drug rehab program in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these types of offenses can ordinarily be very extreme, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the court finds that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Fountain Hills that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, most will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
