DUI/DWI Offenders - Hot Springs, AR.

Drinking and driving, or driving while under the influence are serious offenses not to be taken lightly. While each state has its own way of dealing with DUI/DWI offenders, there are some generalities that can be expected. Depending on the level of the driver's intoxication and how stringent the state laws are, they may have to serve a jail sentence for their offense. Once this is accomplished they will most likely have additional retribution to do in order to drive a vehicle again. Many states require the person to undergo counseling and/or therapy to help in their recovery process. Usually these counseling sessions are held in a group setting by either a substance abuse counselor or a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. The state will define a set number of therapy hours that the DUI/DWI offender will need to attend.
