DUI/DWI offenders in Woodstock are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for such crimes can often be rather serious, and may include jail time and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Woodstock who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other more serious punishment, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
