DUI/DWI offenders in Tazewell, VA. are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can occasionally be rather extreme, including jail time and significant fines and various significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Tazewell, VA. that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other additional serious penalties, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
