DUI/DWI offenders in Sumner, IL. are often given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for such criminal offenses can often be rather serious, including jail time and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Sumner, IL. that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other more severe penalties, a great number will stay away from the court system permanently.
