DUI/DWI offenders in Pompeys Pillar are often given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for such offenses can often be very extreme, including incarceration and serious fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for new offenders, the court finds that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Pompeys Pillar that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, a great number will remain out of the court system for good.
