DUI/DWI offenders in Fritch are often given the option to take advantage of a drug rehabilitation facility as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for such offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, which can include jail time and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the judge finds that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Fritch who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme punishment, many will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
