DUI/DWI offenders in Lawrenceville, Virginia are sometimes given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for such offenses can ordinarily be quite harsh, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lawrenceville, Virginia who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more serious penalties, most will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
