DUI/DWI offenders in Onamia are often given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment program in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be quite harsh, and may include incarceration and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the judge may decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Onamia that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more extreme penalties, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
