DUI/DWI offenders in Newark are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather severe, including jail time and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Newark who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other additional extreme punishment, most will remain out of the court system for good.
