DUI/DWI offenders in Newtown, VA. are occasionally given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for such offenses can often be rather severe, including jail time and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the court may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Newtown, VA. that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more serious punishment, many will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
