DUI/DWI offenders in Douglassville, Texas are occasionally given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of offenses can ordinarily be quite harsh, and may include incarceration and significant fines and other significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Douglassville, Texas that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more severe penalties, many will remain out of the court system for good.
