DUI/DWI offenders in Hamilton, IA. are occasionally given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can often be rather harsh, and may include incarceration and serious fines and various significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for new offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem.
