DUI/DWI offenders in Watervliet, Michigan are occasionally given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for such offenses can occasionally be quite harsh, and may include incarceration and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Watervliet, Michigan that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more extreme consequences, most will stay away from the court system for good.
