DUI/DWI offenders in Dungannon, Virginia are occasionally given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can occasionally be quite serious, including incarceration and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Dungannon, Virginia that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other far more serious penalties, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
