DUI/DWI offenders in Demorest, GA. are occasionally given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for such offenses can occasionally be quite severe, and may include incarceration and significant fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the court may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Demorest, GA. that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other more serious punishment, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
