DUI/DWI offenders in Wellington, FL. are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these types of offenses can occasionally be rather severe, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for initial offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Wellington, FL. that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more extreme penalties, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
