DUI/DWI offenders in Creswell are occasionally given the option to participate in a drug rehabilitation facility instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for such offenses can ordinarily be quite extreme, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the court will decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Creswell who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more extreme consequences, many will remain away from the court system permanently.
