DUI/DWI offenders in Rowlesburg are often given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for these types of crimes can often be rather serious, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for first time offenders, the court finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Rowlesburg that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other far more serious punishment, many will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
