DUI/DWI offenders in Kannapolis are occasionally given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment facility instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can ordinarily be quite harsh, which can include incarceration and serious fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Kannapolis that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, most will remain out of the court system for good.
