DUI/DWI offenders in Walhonding are sometimes given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment center instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for such offenses can ordinarily be rather serious, including jail time and substantial fines and various significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Walhonding who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other additional severe penalties, most will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
