DUI/DWI offenders in Clyde are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be quite harsh, and may include jail time and serious fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the judge finds that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Clyde who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other additional serious punishment, many will remain away from the court system for good.
