DUI/DWI offenders in Wausau, Florida are sometimes given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can occasionally be rather extreme, including jail time and significant fines and various significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the court finds that addressing the issues 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 Wausau, Florida that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional severe punishment, many will remain out of the court system permanently.
