DUI/DWI offenders in Borger are occasionally given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for these types of criminal offenses can often be quite extreme, and may include jail time and significant fines and even significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for initial offenders, the judge may decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Borger who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more serious consequences, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
