DUI/DWI offenders in Prospect Hill are occasionally given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can often be very extreme, including jail time and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the court will decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Prospect Hill that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
