DUI/DWI offenders in Lansing, Ohio are often given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these types of criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite severe, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lansing, Ohio who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other more serious penalties, most will stay away from the court system for good.
