DUI/DWI offenders in Buffalo, WV. are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of crimes can ordinarily be very extreme, and may include jail time and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for initial offenders, the court will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Buffalo, WV. who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more extreme consequences, a great number will stay away from the court system permanently.
