DUI/DWI offenders in Stratton are often given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug treatment program instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for such crimes can ordinarily be very harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the court finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Stratton who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more severe consequences, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
