DUI/DWI offenders in Schertz, Texas are often given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather severe, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Schertz, Texas that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other far more extreme consequences, many will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
