DUI/DWI offenders in Gantt are often given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather extreme, and may include incarceration and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Gantt that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more serious consequences, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
