DUI/DWI offenders in Windsor are often given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be quite harsh, and may include incarceration and significant fines and other significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the court will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is will prove more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Windsor who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more extreme consequences, many will remain out of the court system for good.
