DUI/DWI offenders in Eldorado, Illinois are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be quite severe, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for new offenders, the judge finds that treating 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 Eldorado, Illinois that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other far more extreme punishment, most will stay out of the court system permanently.
