DUI/DWI offenders in Walden, Colorado are often given the chance to take part in a drug treatment facility instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be rather harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Walden, Colorado that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other additional severe consequences, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
