DUI/DWI offenders in Port Huron, MI. are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug treatment facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for such offenses can occasionally be quite harsh, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for initial offenders, the judge may decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Port Huron, MI. who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other more extreme penalties, a great number will remain out of the court system permanently.
