DUI/DWI offenders in Liverpool are often given the opportunity to participate in a drug rehab facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of crimes can often be rather extreme, including incarceration and significant fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Liverpool that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other more serious punishment, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
