DUI/DWI offenders in Terre Hill are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment facility in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for these types of offenses can ordinarily be very serious, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the court will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Terre Hill who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other additional severe punishment, many will remain away from the court system permanently.
