DUI/DWI offenders in Lovejoy, IL. are sometimes given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these types of crimes can occasionally be rather serious, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lovejoy, IL. who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other additional severe punishment, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
