DUI/DWI offenders in Chicota are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these types of criminal offenses can often be very serious, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for initial offenders, the court may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Chicota that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other far more severe consequences, a great number will remain out of the court system for good.
