DUI/DWI offenders in Raymond are often given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can ordinarily be very severe, and may include incarceration and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for first time offenders, the court finds that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Raymond who are lucky enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other far more serious consequences, most will stay out of the court system for good.
