DUI/DWI offenders in Mount Ulla are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can occasionally be quite harsh, and may include incarceration and serious fines and various significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Mount Ulla that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other more extreme consequences, many will remain away from the court system for good.
