DUI/DWI offenders in Bridgeport, Texas are often given the option to take advantage of a drug rehab program in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of crimes can often be rather serious, including incarceration and significant fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for new offenders, the court will decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Bridgeport, Texas that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe punishment, most will remain away from the court system for good.
