DUI/DWI offenders in Blounts Creek are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug rehab facility instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for such crimes can often be quite serious, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Blounts Creek that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other more severe consequences, many will remain away from the court system for good.
