DUI/DWI offenders in Jamestown are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite serious, including jail time and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for first time offenders, the court will decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Jamestown that are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other additional severe consequences, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
