DUI/DWI offenders in Harvard, ID. are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment center in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for these types of crimes can ordinarily be quite serious, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the court finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Harvard, ID. who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other additional severe penalties, many will stay away from the court system permanently.
