DUI/DWI offenders in Port Royal, Virginia are often given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for these types of crimes can ordinarily be quite harsh, including jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Port Royal, Virginia who are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other more extreme punishment, a great number will remain away from the court system permanently.
