DUI/DWI offenders in Somerville, Massachusetts are occasionally given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for such offenses can often be rather extreme, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Somerville, Massachusetts that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe penalties, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
