DUI/DWI offenders in Alledonia are often given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be very severe, and may include jail time and serious fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for new offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Alledonia who are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other additional extreme penalties, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
