DUI/DWI offenders in Edna Bay, AK. are often given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol 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 very harsh, which can include incarceration and significant fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the court finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Edna Bay, AK. that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more severe penalties, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
