DUI/DWI offenders in Anamosa are occasionally given the option to take advantage of a drug rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such offenses can ordinarily be quite serious, which can include jail time and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Anamosa who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more extreme penalties, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
