DUI/DWI offenders in New Baden, IL. are occasionally given the option to participate in a drug rehab program in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be quite extreme, and may include jail time and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in New Baden, IL. that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other additional severe penalties, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
