DUI/DWI offenders in Little River, South Carolina are often given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be quite severe, including jail time and significant fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem.
