DUI/DWI offenders in Hiltons are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug treatment program in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can often be quite severe, which can include jail time and substantial fines and various significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hiltons that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other additional extreme punishment, many will remain away from the court system permanently.
