DUI/DWI offenders in Clayton, Illinois are occasionally given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for such offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, and may include incarceration and significant fines and other significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Clayton, Illinois that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other additional severe consequences, a great number will stay out of the court system for good.
