DUI/DWI offenders in Berthoud are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug treatment center instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for such offenses can ordinarily be quite serious, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for new offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Berthoud who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme consequences, a great number will remain away from the court system for good.
