DUI/DWI offenders in Brookston, TX. are occasionally given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be quite extreme, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Brookston, TX. that are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more severe punishment, most will remain away from the court system permanently.
