DUI/DWI offenders in Ipswich are sometimes given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment facility in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather severe, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Ipswich who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other more severe penalties, most will remain out of the court system permanently.
