DUI/DWI offenders in Ocklawaha are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of a drug treatment center in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather serious, which can include incarceration and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Ocklawaha who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other more severe penalties, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
