DUI/DWI offenders in Falls Creek are often given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather extreme, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Falls Creek who are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other additional serious penalties, a great number will remain out of the court system for good.
