DUI/DWI offenders in Annona are sometimes given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for such offenses can often be very harsh, and may include incarceration and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for new offenders, the court finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Annona who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more serious punishment, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
