The consequences for these types of criminal offenses can often be quite harsh, and may include incarceration and substantial fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long term for curbing the issue.
