DUI/DWI offenders in Warm Springs, Virginia are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for such offenses can occasionally be rather extreme, and may include incarceration and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Warm Springs, Virginia who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other more extreme penalties, many will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
