DUI/DWI offenders in Horseshoe Bay often find that they are dealt severe punishment due to their crimes including jail time and other penalties which can affect them for years. In lieu of such penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly ordered by the court to participate in a Horseshoe Bay drug and alcohol treatment center to handle their problems with drugs or alcohol abuse. Court ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has worked not just in treating issues regarding drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders that are given this opportunity end up rehabbed, having a beneficial effect not only on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society at large.
