DUI/DWI offenders in Weldon, IA. are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these types of crimes can occasionally be very severe, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for initial offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the issue.
