DUI/DWI offenders in Jud are often given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be very severe, and may include jail time and serious fines and various significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is will prove more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Jud who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more severe penalties, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
