DUI/DWI offenders in Jefferson, Georgia are often given the option to participate in a drug treatment facility instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, including incarceration and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Jefferson, Georgia who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other far more severe consequences, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
