DUI/DWI offenders in Crown Point are often given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab program in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these types of offenses can ordinarily be quite harsh, including jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Crown Point who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other more serious consequences, most will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
