DUI/DWI offenders in Acme are often given the option to take advantage of a drug treatment facility instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can often be rather harsh, which can include jail time and significant fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for first time offenders, the court may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug 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 Acme that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, most will stay out of the court system for good.
