DUI/DWI offenders in Lapine are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug treatment center instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be rather serious, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the judge may decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lapine that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more extreme punishment, most will stay out of the court system permanently.
