DUI/DWI offenders in Magee are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can often be quite severe, including jail time and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for first time offenders, the court finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Magee that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme consequences, many will stay out of the court system permanently.
