DUI/DWI offenders in Clearlake Park are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of a drug rehabilitation facility instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for these types of offenses can ordinarily be rather serious, including jail time and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Clearlake Park that are lucky enough to be able to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme consequences, a great number will remain away from the court system for good.
