DUI/DWI offenders in Zephyrhills are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be very serious, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for new offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Zephyrhills that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment instead of other far more severe consequences, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
