DUI/DWI offenders in Ormond Beach are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug treatment center in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such offenses can often be very extreme, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the court will decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Ormond Beach that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more extreme consequences, a great number will remain away from the court system for good.
