DUI/DWI offenders in Baker, Nevada are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of offenses can ordinarily be quite severe, and may include incarceration and serious fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for first time offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Baker that are lucky enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other additional serious consequences, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
