DUI/DWI offenders in Greenville are occasionally given the chance to take part in a drug rehabilitation program instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can often be quite severe, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Greenville who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other more extreme consequences, most will stay out of the court system for good.
