DUI/DWI offenders in Donnelly are often given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of crimes can ordinarily be rather extreme, and may include jail time and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Donnelly that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more extreme penalties, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
