DUI/DWI offenders in Round Lake are sometimes given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite extreme, and may include incarceration and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for new offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Round Lake who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more severe penalties, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
