DUI/DWI offenders in Wethersfield are often given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can often be very severe, and may include incarceration and substantial fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for initial offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Wethersfield who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more severe penalties, a great number will remain away from the court system permanently.
