DUI/DWI offenders in Hogansville are occasionally given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for such crimes can often be rather harsh, including jail time and significant fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hogansville who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other more serious penalties, most will stay out of the court system permanently.
