DUI/DWI offenders in Fort Hill are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug rehabilitation center in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these types of offenses can often be very severe, including jail time and substantial fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for new offenders, the court finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is will prove more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Fort Hill who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other far more extreme punishment, most will remain away from the court system for good.
