DUI/DWI offenders in Caledonia are occasionally given the chance to participate in a drug rehab program in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for such offenses can occasionally be quite harsh, which can include incarceration and serious fines and other significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the judge finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Caledonia who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other far more serious punishment, many will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
