DUI/DWI offenders in Coats are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab program instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of crimes can often be quite extreme, including incarceration and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Coats who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other more severe consequences, many will stay away from the court system permanently.
