DUI/DWI offenders in Yatesville, GA. are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for such crimes can ordinarily be quite harsh, and may include jail time and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Yatesville, GA. that are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe punishment, a great number will stay away from the court system permanently.
