DUI/DWI offenders in Midland, Texas are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can often be quite harsh, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Midland, Texas who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, a great number will stay out of the court system permanently.
