DUI/DWI offenders in East Sparta are often given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab center in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be rather harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in East Sparta who are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more extreme consequences, a great number will remain away from the court system permanently.
