DUI/DWI offenders in Reader, West Virginia are occasionally given the option to take part in a drug rehab program instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be rather harsh, including incarceration and serious fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Reader, West Virginia who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe penalties, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
