DUI/DWI offenders in Lorentz, WV. are often given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for such crimes can ordinarily be quite extreme, including incarceration and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for new offenders, the judge may decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lorentz, WV. that are fortunate enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
