DUI/DWI offenders in Hillsdale are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be quite extreme, which can include jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hillsdale who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other far more severe punishment, most will remain away from the court system permanently.
