DUI/DWI offenders in Lovelady, Texas are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for such offenses can ordinarily be quite severe, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lovelady, Texas who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional serious penalties, many will remain away from the court system permanently.
