DUI/DWI offenders in New Caney, Texas are sometimes given the option to take part in a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for such offenses can ordinarily be quite harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in New Caney, Texas who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
