DUI/DWI offenders in Mountain Home, Texas are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for such criminal offenses can often be very severe, which can include jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the judge finds that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Mountain Home, Texas who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more severe penalties, a great number will remain away from the court system permanently.
