DUI/DWI offenders in Danville are often given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehab program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can occasionally be very severe, and may include incarceration and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Danville that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more serious penalties, a great number will remain away from the court system for good.
