DUI/DWI offenders in French Lick, Indiana are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in a drug rehab program instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for such crimes can occasionally be quite serious, which can include incarceration and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for initial offenders, the judge finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in French Lick, Indiana who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more extreme punishment, most will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
