Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be quite extreme, which can include jail time and significant fines and various significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for initial offenders, the court will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem.
