DUI/DWI offenders in Summerfield, North Carolina are often given the option to take part in a drug treatment program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be rather extreme, and may include incarceration and significant fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Summerfield, North Carolina who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more serious penalties, most will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
