DUI/DWI offenders in Homer, Alaska are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for such offenses can ordinarily be very severe, and may include incarceration and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the judge will decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Homer, Alaska that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more severe consequences, many will stay out of the court system for good.
