DUI/DWI offenders in Annandale are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for these types of crimes can often be quite serious, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Annandale who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other more extreme penalties, many will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
