DUI/DWI offenders in Oxford, GA. are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can ordinarily be rather extreme, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Oxford, GA. that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other more extreme consequences, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
