DUI/DWI offenders in Almont are occasionally given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for such offenses can often be rather harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the judge finds that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Almont that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more extreme consequences, most will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
