DUI/DWI offenders in Llano, New Mexico are sometimes given the option to take part in a drug treatment program in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can occasionally be quite harsh, including jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Llano, New Mexico who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other far more serious consequences, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
