DUI/DWI offenders in Strawn, Texas are often given the chance to participate in a drug treatment facility in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, and may include jail time and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Strawn, Texas that are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional severe consequences, many will stay away from the court system for good.
