DUI/DWI offenders in Harrisonburg, VA. are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather severe, and may include jail time and serious fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Harrisonburg, VA. who are lucky enough to be able to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional serious punishment, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
