DUI/DWI offenders in Waukau, Wisconsin are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of crimes can ordinarily be rather serious, and may include jail time and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for initial offenders, the judge may decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse 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 Waukau, Wisconsin that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other additional serious penalties, a great number will stay out of the court system permanently.
