DUI/DWI offenders in Roann are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of crimes can often be rather harsh, and may include jail time and serious fines and various significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Roann who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme penalties, most will remain out of the court system permanently.
