DUI/DWI offenders in Coloma are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be very harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for new offenders, the court will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Coloma that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other more severe consequences, a great number will stay away from the court system for good.
