DUI/DWI offenders in Darlington are occasionally given the chance to participate in a drug rehabilitation facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite harsh, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for first time offenders, the court will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Darlington that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other additional serious consequences, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
