DUI/DWI offenders in Longs are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug treatment program instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for these types of offenses can occasionally be quite serious, which can include jail time and serious fines and various significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Longs who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more extreme consequences, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
