DUI/DWI offenders in Lookout are occasionally given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment program in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can occasionally be rather severe, which can include jail time and serious fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for new offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lookout that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme consequences, most will stay away from the court system for good.
