DUI/DWI offenders in Piney Flats are often given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for such crimes can often be quite extreme, which can include jail time and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for first time offenders, the court finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Piney Flats who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, a great number will stay out of the court system permanently.
