DUI/DWI offenders in Cameron, Illinois are often given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for these kinds of crimes can ordinarily be very harsh, and may include incarceration and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the court finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Cameron, Illinois who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other far more serious consequences, most will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
