DUI/DWI Offenders - Middle Falls, New York

Drinking and driving, or driving while under the influence are serious offenses not to be taken lightly. Although each state has its own way of handling DUI/DWI offenders, there are some generalities that can be expected. Depending on the level of the driver's intoxication and how stringent the state laws are, they may have to serve time in jail for their offense. Once this is completed they will most likely have additional retribution to do in order to drive a vehicle again. Many states require the person to undergo counseling and/or therapy to help in their recovery process. Often these counseling sessions are held in a group setting by either an addiction recovery professional or a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. The state will determine a set number of therapy hours that the DUI/DWI offender will need to attend.
