DUI/DWI offenders in Wahiawa, HI. are often given the option to participate in a drug treatment center in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these types of offenses can often be rather harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the issue.
