DUI/DWI offenders in Lakeville, MI. are often given the option to participate in a drug treatment center in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can occasionally be quite severe, which can include jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the judge finds that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lakeville, MI. who are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more extreme punishment, a great number will remain out of the court system permanently.
