DUI/DWI offenders in Peacham are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of crimes can ordinarily be very serious, including incarceration and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Peacham who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme punishment, many will stay out of the court system permanently.
