DUI/DWI offenders in Shenandoah are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug rehab center in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be quite serious, including jail time and significant fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Shenandoah that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other additional serious consequences, most will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
