DUI/DWI offenders in Sylacauga are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can ordinarily be rather severe, which can include jail time and significant fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for initial offenders, the court finds 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 Sylacauga who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other far more extreme punishment, most will stay out of the court system permanently.
