DUI/DWI offenders in Hammonton are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for such offenses can often be very serious, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for new offenders, the court finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hammonton who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other far more severe punishment, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
