DUI/DWI offenders in Spring Hope, North Carolina are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can occasionally be rather serious, including incarceration and serious fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Spring Hope, North Carolina that are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more extreme consequences, a great number will remain out of the court system permanently.
