DUI/DWI offenders in Oyster Creek are sometimes given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite serious, and may include jail time and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for new offenders, the court will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Oyster Creek that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other far more serious consequences, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
