DUI/DWI offenders in Clawson, MI. are occasionally given the chance to take advantage of a drug rehab facility instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of offenses can ordinarily be very serious, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for new offenders, the judge finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Clawson, MI. that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional serious punishment, many will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
