DUI/DWI offenders in Zanesfield are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of crimes can ordinarily be quite serious, which can include incarceration and significant fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for first time offenders, the judge may decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Zanesfield who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme penalties, many will remain away from the court system permanently.
