DUI/DWI offenders in Beaverdam, Virginia are sometimes given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab center in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be rather extreme, which can include jail time and serious fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the judge may decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Beaverdam, Virginia that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme punishment, most will stay out of the court system for good.
