DUI/DWI offenders in Archer City are sometimes given the chance to take part in a drug rehab program in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for such crimes can ordinarily be very harsh, including incarceration and serious fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the judge may decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Archer City who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more serious penalties, most will remain away from the court system permanently.
