DUI/DWI offenders in Milton, Illinois are often given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be rather harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for initial offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Milton, Illinois who are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional severe punishment, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
