DUI/DWI offenders in Hendricks are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug treatment facility in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can ordinarily be quite severe, including incarceration and substantial fines and various significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for new offenders, the court finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hendricks who are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more serious punishment, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
