DUI/DWI offenders in Cross Village are often given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can often be quite serious, and may include incarceration and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for new offenders, the court finds that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Cross Village that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other far more severe penalties, most will remain out of the court system for good.
