DUI/DWI offenders in Georgetown, TX. are sometimes given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can occasionally be quite serious, and may include jail time and substantial fines and other significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Georgetown, TX. that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe consequences, most will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
