People in Saginaw with DUI/DWI are often court ordered to go to a drug and alcohol rehab facility, most often when they are first time offenders and in lieu of other stiff penalties. Even though being convicted of a DUI/DWI in Saginaw usually comes with substantial fines and even jail time 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 program as an alternative to other forms of justice has shown to be effective in keeping people in Saginaw out of the criminal justice system because of DUI/DWI in the future.
