DUI/DWI offenders in Delia are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can often be rather harsh, and may include incarceration and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for new offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Delia that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional serious penalties, a great number will remain away from the court system permanently.
