DUI/DWI offenders in Silverton, Texas are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug rehabilitation center in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can often be rather severe, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Silverton, Texas that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional serious punishment, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
