DUI/DWI offenders in Albion are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug treatment center instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be rather extreme, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for initial offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is will prove more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Albion who are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other far more extreme consequences, most will stay out of the court system for good.
