DUI/DWI offenders in Interlachen are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for such offenses can ordinarily be rather severe, including jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the court may decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Interlachen that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more serious consequences, most will remain away from the court system permanently.
