DUI/DWI offenders in Corsicana, TX. are occasionally given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be very extreme, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Corsicana, TX. who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more serious penalties, many will stay away from the court system for good.
