DUI/DWI offenders in Garwood are often given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for such crimes can occasionally be rather serious, and may include incarceration and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for new offenders, the court will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Garwood who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other more severe consequences, a great number will stay away from the court system permanently.
