DUI/DWI offenders in Geronimo, Texas are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be rather harsh, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Geronimo, Texas that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more severe penalties, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
