DUI/DWI offenders in Waverly are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for these kinds of crimes can ordinarily be very serious, including jail time and significant fines and even significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Waverly that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional serious penalties, many will stay away from the court system permanently.
