DUI/DWI offenders in Boerne, Texas are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for such offenses can ordinarily be very extreme, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and various significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating 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 Boerne, Texas that are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more extreme penalties, a great number will stay away from the court system permanently.
