DUI/DWI offenders in Ravenswood, WV. are sometimes given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such offenses can often be very extreme, including jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Ravenswood, WV. who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more severe consequences, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
