DUI/DWI offenders in Bardolph are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can ordinarily be very harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for new offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Bardolph that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other far more serious consequences, many will remain out of the court system for good.
