DUI/DWI offenders in Hayden, Idaho are occasionally given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be quite severe, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for new offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hayden, Idaho who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more severe penalties, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
