DUI/DWI offenders in Eunice are often given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab center instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for such crimes can occasionally be quite harsh, which can include incarceration and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the judge finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse 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 Eunice that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other far more severe consequences, many will stay out of the court system permanently.
