DUI/DWI offenders in Wimbledon are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be rather serious, which can include jail time and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for new offenders, the court will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Wimbledon who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other more extreme punishment, a great number will remain out of the court system for good.
