DUI/DWI offenders in Jacksonville, TX. are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be very harsh, including jail time and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for new offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Jacksonville, TX. who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other additional severe penalties, a great number will remain out of the court system permanently.
