People in Portland with DUI/DWI are sometimes court ordered to attend a drug and alcohol rehab facility, most often when they are first time offenders and in lieu of other court penalties. Although being convicted of a DUI/DWI in Portland often comes with substantial fines and even incarceration in some instances, the criminal justice system is at times more apt to help rehabilitate the particular person instead of penalizing them. Allowing individuals with DUI/DWI to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center as a substitute to other methods of justice has shown to be successful in keeping people in Portland out of the criminal justice system because of DUI/DWI in the future.
