DUI/DWI offenders in Panaca, Nevada are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be quite harsh, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Panaca that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other additional extreme penalties, most will stay out of the court system for good.
