DUI/DWI offenders in Malad are occasionally given the option to take part in a drug rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these types of criminal offenses can often be very extreme, including jail time and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for initial offenders, the judge finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Malad that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more extreme punishment, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
