DUI/DWI offenders in Patrick Springs, Virginia are occasionally given the option to take advantage of a drug rehabilitation facility instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such offenses can occasionally be rather harsh, which can include incarceration and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for new offenders, the court finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Patrick Springs, Virginia that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, most will stay away from the court system for good.
