DUI/DWI offenders in Kingwood, WV. are sometimes given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of offenses can occasionally be very harsh, including jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the court finds that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Kingwood, WV. who are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional serious punishment, most will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
