DUI/DWI offenders in Richville are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be rather extreme, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for initial offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Richville who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more serious consequences, most will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
