DUI/DWI offenders in Chillicothe, TX. are occasionally given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for such offenses can often be very severe, which can include incarceration and serious fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Chillicothe, TX. who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious punishment, many will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
