DUI/DWI offenders in Wahkiacus, WA. are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be very severe, which can include jail time and significant fines and even significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the court will decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Wahkiacus, WA. who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional serious penalties, a great number will remain out of the court system for good.
