DUI/DWI offenders in Talladega, AL. are sometimes given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for such crimes can often be rather harsh, and may include incarceration and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the court may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Talladega, AL. that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme penalties, most will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
