DUI/DWI offenders in York, Nebraska are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for such criminal offenses can occasionally be rather severe, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in York, Nebraska that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other far more extreme punishment, most will stay out of the court system permanently.
