DUI/DWI offenders in Elberon, Virginia are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather severe, and may include incarceration and significant fines and other significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for new offenders, the judge will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse 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 Elberon, Virginia that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe punishment, most will remain away from the court system permanently.
