DUI/DWI offenders in Thayer, Illinois are often given the chance to participate in a drug rehabilitation facility instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can ordinarily be very extreme, which can include incarceration and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the court will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Thayer, Illinois who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more serious penalties, many will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
