DUI/DWI offenders in Lilydale are occasionally given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of criminal offenses can often be very severe, including jail time and serious fines and even significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the judge finds that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lilydale who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe consequences, a great number will remain away from the court system for good.
