DUI/DWI offenders in Edgerton are often given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for such crimes can ordinarily be quite harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for initial offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is will prove more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Edgerton that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, many will remain out of the court system for good.
