DUI/DWI offenders in Corrigan are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment facility as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can ordinarily be very harsh, including incarceration and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is will prove more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Corrigan who are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more serious penalties, many will remain away from the court system permanently.
