DUI/DWI offenders in Eggleston are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be very extreme, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Eggleston that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other far more severe punishment, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
