DUI/DWI offenders in Garland frequently find that they are going to have to deal with serious punishment for their criminal offenses such as incarceration and other consequences which can haunt them for years. In lieu of such penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly ordered by the court to participate in a Garland drug rehabilitation program to deal with their issues with drugs or alcohol addiction. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug treatment has worked not only in handling problems regarding drug addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity end up rehabilitated, having a positive effect not just on the offender but on the court system and society itself.
