DUI/DWI offenders in Edinburg, Virginia are sometimes given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can occasionally be rather harsh, and may include incarceration and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the court may decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Edinburg, Virginia that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more serious punishment, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
