DUI/DWI offenders in Sun City are sometimes given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can occasionally be very serious, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Sun City that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other additional extreme penalties, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
