DUI/DWI offenders in Newton, TX. are occasionally given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment facility instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, including incarceration and significant fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Newton, TX. that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other more serious consequences, many will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
