DUI/DWI offenders in Hartley, Texas are often given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab facility instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be very harsh, including incarceration and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hartley, Texas who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more severe punishment, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
