DUI/DWI offenders in Fishers are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment program instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can often be rather severe, including jail time and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Fishers that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more severe punishment, most will remain away from the court system permanently.
