DUI/DWI offenders in Mesquite, Nevada are occasionally given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment facility in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be quite serious, and may include jail time and serious fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Mesquite that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious penalties, a great number will stay out of the court system for good.
