DUI/DWI offenders in Lovettsville, VA. are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather extreme, and may include jail time and serious fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the judge finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lovettsville, VA. who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional serious penalties, a great number will remain away from the court system permanently.
