DUI/DWI offenders in Proctorville are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug rehabilitation facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can often be quite serious, including jail time and serious fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for first time offenders, the court may decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Proctorville that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme consequences, most will stay out of the court system permanently.
