DUI/DWI offenders in Strawn are often given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab center in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be rather harsh, including jail time and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the court will decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Strawn that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other additional extreme consequences, most will stay away from the court system permanently.
