DUI/DWI offenders in Rockvale, Tennessee are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in a drug rehabilitation center in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these types of offenses can ordinarily be very serious, including jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the judge may decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Rockvale, Tennessee that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more extreme punishment, a great number will remain out of the court system permanently.
