DUI/DWI offenders in Laurelville, OH. are sometimes given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can often be quite extreme, and may include jail time and significant fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the court will decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Laurelville, OH. who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional extreme penalties, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
