DUI/DWI offenders in South Charleston, WV. are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can often be rather serious, and may include being locked up in jail and significant fines and even significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in South Charleston, WV. who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other far more extreme penalties, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
