DUI/DWI offenders in Westmont, IL. are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for such offenses can often be rather extreme, including jail time and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Westmont, IL. that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more extreme penalties, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
