DUI/DWI offenders in Monterey, Indiana are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can occasionally be very extreme, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and even significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Monterey, Indiana who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more serious punishment, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
