DUI/DWI offenders in West Danville are often given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite extreme, which can include jail time and serious fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for first time offenders, the judge finds that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in West Danville that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme penalties, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
