DUI/DWI offenders in Glencoe are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can occasionally be quite serious, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the court may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Glencoe that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme penalties, many will stay away from the court system permanently.
