DUI/DWI offenders in North Attleboro are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can ordinarily be rather extreme, including jail time and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in North Attleboro who are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other far more extreme consequences, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
