DUI/DWI offenders in Williamson are sometimes given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be very serious, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Williamson that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more severe penalties, most will stay away from the court system for good.
