Individuals in Parkesburg with DUI/DWI are sometimes court ordered to attend a drug and alcohol treatment facility, most often when they are first time offenders and in lieu of other court justice actions. While being convicted of a DUI/DWI in Parkesburg usually comes with large fines and even incarceration in some cases, the criminal justice system is at times more inclined to help rehabilitate the person instead of punishing them. Allowing individuals with DUI/DWI to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program as an alternative to other forms of justice has shown to be effective in keeping people in Parkesburg out of the criminal justice system because of DUI/DWI in the future.
