DUI/DWI offenders in Varnville are often given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment facility in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be rather extreme, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the judge will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Varnville who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment instead of other far more serious penalties, a great number will stay away from the court system permanently.
