DUI/DWI offenders in Groveton are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such crimes can ordinarily be very harsh, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Groveton that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other additional extreme penalties, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
