DUI/DWI offenders in Garretson are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab facility in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather extreme, including incarceration and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for initial offenders, the court may decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Garretson who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme consequences, many will stay out of the court system permanently.
