DUI/DWI Offenders - Desdemona, Texas

Drinking and driving, or driving while under the influence are severe offenses not to be taken lightly. Although 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 probably have further retribution to do in order to drive a vehicle again. Many states require the person to go through counseling and/or therapy to aid in their recovery process. Typically these counseling sessions are held in a group setting by either an addiction recovery professional or a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. The state will determine a set number of counseling hours that the DUI/DWI offender will need to attend.
