DUI/DWI offenders in Fenton, Michigan are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab program in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these types of crimes can ordinarily be very harsh, including jail time and significant fines and various significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for new offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Fenton, Michigan that are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more extreme punishment, a great number will stay away from the court system for good.
