DUI/DWI offenders in Rye are occasionally given the chance to take advantage of a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of crimes can often be rather serious, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for initial offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Rye who are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more serious punishment, most will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
