DUI/DWI offenders in Marquette are often given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these types of crimes can often be quite severe, including incarceration and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for new offenders, the court may decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Marquette who are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more severe punishment, a great number will stay away from the court system permanently.
