DUI/DWI offenders in Comfort are often given the opportunity to participate in a drug treatment center instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can often be rather harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Comfort who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious consequences, many will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
