DUI/DWI offenders in Oreana are often given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such crimes can ordinarily be very severe, including incarceration and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the court may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Oreana who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional serious punishment, most will stay away from the court system for good.
