DUI/DWI offenders in Billingsley are often given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of crimes can occasionally be very severe, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and various significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for first time offenders, the court will decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Billingsley who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other more severe punishment, a great number will remain out of the court system permanently.
