DUI/DWI offenders in Tolland are occasionally given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment center instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can often be very harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for new offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Tolland that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other more extreme consequences, most will remain out of the court system for good.
