DUI/DWI offenders in Sudan are often given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be very harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Sudan who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more extreme consequences, most will stay out of the court system for good.
