DUI/DWI offenders in Riverdale, Georgia are occasionally given the option to participate in a drug treatment center instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be rather extreme, including jail time and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for first time offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Riverdale, Georgia who are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional severe punishment, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
