DUI/DWI offenders in Eden are often given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these types of offenses can often be very severe, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the judge will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Eden that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme consequences, a great number will remain out of the court system permanently.
