DUI/DWI offenders in Avon are occasionally given the option to take part in a drug treatment center as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be very serious, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Avon who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other more serious penalties, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
