DUI/DWI offenders in Denton, North Carolina are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for such crimes can often be quite extreme, including incarceration and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for new offenders, the judge finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Denton, North Carolina who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other more serious consequences, most will stay out of the court system permanently.
