DUI/DWI offenders in Commerce City, Colorado are occasionally given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab center as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for such offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, including incarceration and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Commerce City, Colorado that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious punishment, a great number will stay away from the court system permanently.
