DUI/DWI offenders in Manteo, NC. are often given the option to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for such crimes can often be quite extreme, which can include incarceration and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for first time offenders, the court may decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Manteo, NC. that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional severe consequences, a great number will stay out of the court system permanently.
