DUI/DWI offenders in Statesboro are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather serious, which can include jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the court may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Statesboro that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other additional extreme consequences, many will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
