DUI/DWI offenders in Southern Pines, NC. are occasionally given the chance to participate in a drug rehab facility instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be very extreme, including incarceration and significant fines and various significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the court may decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Southern Pines, NC. who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional severe punishment, most will remain away from the court system permanently.
