People in New River with DUI/DWI are often court ordered to attend an alcohol or drug rehab facility, most often when they are first time offenders and in lieu of other court penalties. While being sentenced with a DUI/DWI in New River often comes with hefty fines and even jail time in some instances, the criminal justice system is occasionally more apt to help rehabilitate the person rather than punishing them. Allowing people with DUI/DWI to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program as a substitute to other methods of justice has shown to be effective in keeping people in New River out of the criminal justice system because of DUI/DWI in the future.
