DUI/DWI offenders in Sargeant are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be quite severe, including jail time and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for first time offenders, the court may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Sargeant that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more extreme consequences, most will stay away from the court system for good.
