Individuals in New Smyrna Beach with DUI/DWI are often court ordered to go to an alcohol or drug rehab facility, usually when they are first time offenders and in lieu of other court penalties. While being convicted of a DUI/DWI in New Smyrna Beach often comes with large fines and even incarceration in some instances, the criminal justice system is occasionally more apt to help rehabilitate the individual instead of punishing them. Allowing individuals with DUI/DWI to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility as an alternative to other forms of justice has shown to be successful in keeping people in New Smyrna Beach out of the criminal justice system because of DUI/DWI in the future.
