DUI/DWI offenders in Carroll, Iowa are occasionally given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be quite harsh, and may include jail time and serious fines and various significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for new offenders, the judge finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Carroll, Iowa who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme punishment, most will remain out of the court system permanently.
