DUI/DWI offenders in Star, North Carolina are occasionally given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab program instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can occasionally be rather severe, including jail time and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for new offenders, the judge will decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Star, North Carolina who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other far more extreme penalties, most will stay away from the court system for good.
