DUI/DWI offenders in Ennis, Texas are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug rehab facility in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for such offenses can often be rather harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for initial offenders, the court will decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Ennis, Texas that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional serious penalties, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
