DUI/DWI offenders in Dennison are sometimes given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these types of criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite serious, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Dennison who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other more extreme consequences, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
