DUI/DWI offenders in Mineral Wells, Texas are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can ordinarily be rather harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for first time offenders, the court finds that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Mineral Wells, Texas who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other additional severe punishment, a great number will stay away from the court system permanently.
