DUI/DWI offenders in Gabbs, Nevada are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab center instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite harsh, including jail time and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Gabbs who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, many will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
