DUI/DWI offenders in Covel, West Virginia are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such crimes can often be quite serious, and may include incarceration and serious fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Covel, West Virginia who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious penalties, most will remain out of the court system for good.
