DUI/DWI offenders in Moweaqua are sometimes given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment center in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can occasionally be rather harsh, including jail time and serious fines and other significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is will prove more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Moweaqua who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional extreme penalties, a great number will stay away from the court system for good.
