DUI/DWI offenders in Lake Wilson are often given the opportunity to take part in a drug treatment center in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can occasionally be quite serious, including incarceration and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the court will decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lake Wilson that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other more extreme penalties, most will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
