DUI/DWI offenders in Avilla are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for such crimes can occasionally be rather serious, including incarceration and serious fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the court finds that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Avilla that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe punishment, a great number will stay out of the court system permanently.
