DUI/DWI offenders in Elkview, WV. are often given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab center as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be very serious, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the judge finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Elkview, WV. who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme consequences, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
