DUI/DWI offenders in Roxton are often given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for these types of offenses can occasionally be rather extreme, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Roxton that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more serious penalties, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
