DUI/DWI offenders in Albers, Illinois are often given the chance to take part in a drug treatment center in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather serious, including jail time and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Albers, Illinois who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other more extreme punishment, many will stay away from the court system for good.
