DUI/DWI offenders in Canon City are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug rehab program in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these types of offenses can often be rather extreme, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and various significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Canon City who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other more severe penalties, most will remain away from the court system for good.
