DUI/DWI offenders in The Plains, Virginia are occasionally given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can ordinarily be very extreme, and may include incarceration and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for new offenders, the judge finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for full handling the issue.
