DUI/DWI offenders in Gage are often given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for such crimes can occasionally be very serious, which can include jail time and serious fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for initial offenders, the judge may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Gage who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other additional serious consequences, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
