DUI/DWI offenders in Bickmore, West Virginia are often given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for such offenses can often be very harsh, including incarceration and significant fines and various significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem.
