DUI/DWI offenders in Leander are often given the chance to participate in a drug rehab facility as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such offenses can ordinarily be rather serious, including jail time and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for initial offenders, the judge finds that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Leander who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional serious punishment, a great number will remain out of the court system permanently.
