DUI/DWI offenders in Willowick are often given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather serious, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and even significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the court may decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Willowick that are lucky enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other far more extreme punishment, a great number will stay out of the court system for good.
