DUI/DWI offenders in Sulphur are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be rather serious, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Sulphur who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other additional serious penalties, many will stay away from the court system for good.
