DUI/DWI offenders in Carlyle are often given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these types of criminal offenses can ordinarily be very serious, including incarceration and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Carlyle that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more serious penalties, many will stay out of the court system permanently.
