DUI/DWI offenders in Buxton, North Carolina are sometimes given the chance to take part in a drug rehab facility instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be very serious, and may include jail time and serious fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Buxton, North Carolina who are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more severe punishment, most will stay away from the court system for good.
