DUI/DWI offenders in Tyndall are often given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for such criminal offenses can often be quite harsh, which can include jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is will prove more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Tyndall that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more serious punishment, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
