DUI/DWI offenders in Hutto are occasionally given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can occasionally be rather serious, which can include jail time and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the judge finds that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hutto who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other far more serious consequences, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
