DUI/DWI offenders in North Chicago, IL. are often given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for such crimes can often be rather harsh, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI.
