DUI/DWI offenders in Algonac, MI. are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug rehab center in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for such crimes can often be rather extreme, including jail time and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the judge finds that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Algonac, MI. who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other more severe penalties, a great number will remain out of the court system permanently.
