DUI/DWI offenders in Dickeyville are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be very harsh, including jail time and substantial fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Dickeyville that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more serious punishment, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
