DUI/DWI offenders in Buffalo, Texas are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite severe, and may include being locked up in jail and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Buffalo, Texas that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional severe consequences, most will stay away from the court system for good.
