DUI/DWI offenders in Fort Lupton are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be very harsh, and may include incarceration and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Fort Lupton who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more severe penalties, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
