DUI/DWI offenders in Valmeyer, Illinois are occasionally given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment center in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can often be quite extreme, including jail time and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for new offenders, the judge finds that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Valmeyer, Illinois that are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, most will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
