DUI/DWI offenders in Waverly are occasionally given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can often be quite serious, and may include jail time and significant fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for initial offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Waverly that are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional serious consequences, many will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
