DUI/DWI offenders in Blanco are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab facility instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can occasionally be quite serious, including jail time and serious fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the court will decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Blanco that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other more severe punishment, many will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
