DUI/DWI offenders in Anna, Illinois are often given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment facility in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be rather serious, including incarceration and serious fines and even significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the judge finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Anna, Illinois who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more extreme consequences, most will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
