DUI/DWI offenders in Brackenridge are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug treatment facility instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of crimes can occasionally be rather harsh, which can include jail time and serious fines and various significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the court will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Brackenridge who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe punishment, most will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
