DUI/DWI offenders in St. Clairsville are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can ordinarily be very severe, which can include incarceration and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in St. Clairsville that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme punishment, a great number will remain out of the court system for good.
