DUI/DWI offenders in Morgantown are often given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of crimes can occasionally be quite serious, including jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for first time offenders, the judge finds that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Morgantown that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other more severe punishment, a great number will stay out of the court system for good.
