DUI/DWI offenders in Stanford, IL. are occasionally given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be quite harsh, and may include jail time and serious fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Stanford, IL. who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more extreme punishment, most will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
