DUI/DWI offenders in Weyers Cave are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug treatment facility instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for such crimes can ordinarily be quite severe, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for initial offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Weyers Cave who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more serious penalties, a great number will stay out of the court system permanently.
