DUI/DWI offenders in Presidio are occasionally given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment program in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be quite harsh, which can include jail time and serious fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Presidio who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other additional severe penalties, a great number will remain out of the court system for good.
