DUI/DWI offenders in Lehigh Acres are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment facility in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be rather extreme, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the concerns 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 Lehigh Acres that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more severe penalties, most will remain away from the court system for good.
