DUI/DWI offenders in Troy, Virginia are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug rehabilitation program in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can often be rather severe, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Troy, Virginia that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more severe penalties, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
