DUI/DWI offenders in Braggs are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of offenses can occasionally be rather extreme, including incarceration and serious fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Braggs that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme punishment, many will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
