DUI/DWI offenders in Killen are often given the option to participate in a drug rehab facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be quite extreme, which can include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Killen that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional serious consequences, most will remain out of the court system for good.
