DUI/DWI offenders in Parmele, NC. are often given the chance to take part in a drug rehabilitation center in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, including jail time and substantial fines and various significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the court may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Parmele, NC. that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other additional extreme punishment, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
