DUI/DWI offenders in West Baden Springs, IN. are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for such crimes can often be rather harsh, including incarceration and significant fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the court finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in West Baden Springs, IN. who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more severe penalties, many will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
