DUI/DWI offenders in Pollocksville are sometimes given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment program instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of criminal offenses can often be quite harsh, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Pollocksville who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other far more extreme consequences, most will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
