DUI/DWI offenders in Parrish are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment center instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for such offenses can ordinarily be very serious, including incarceration and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the court will decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Parrish that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional severe penalties, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
