DUI/DWI offenders in Oscoda, Michigan are occasionally given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such offenses can occasionally be very harsh, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and even significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Oscoda, Michigan who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, a great number will remain out of the court system for good.
