DUI/DWI offenders in Mahomet are often given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be rather harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the court may decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Mahomet that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe punishment, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
