DUI/DWI offenders in Princeton are occasionally given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can occasionally be rather severe, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for new offenders, the court will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Princeton who are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more serious consequences, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
