DUI/DWI offenders in Plymouth are sometimes given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can often be rather serious, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for initial offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Plymouth that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other additional serious consequences, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
