DUI/DWI offenders in Hinckley, IL. are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment program in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for such offenses can often be quite severe, and may include incarceration and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the court finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hinckley, IL. who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other additional serious punishment, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
