DUI/DWI offenders in Oskaloosa are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be rather extreme, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and various significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Oskaloosa that are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more extreme consequences, most will remain away from the court system permanently.
