DUI/DWI offenders in Hillsdale are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug rehabilitation center instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of crimes can often be very extreme, and may include incarceration and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for first time offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hillsdale who are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more serious punishment, a great number will stay away from the court system for good.
