DUI/DWI offenders in Whites Creek, Tennessee are occasionally given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for such offenses can occasionally be very extreme, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Whites Creek, Tennessee that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe consequences, most will stay out of the court system permanently.
