DUI/DWI offenders in Greenville are occasionally given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can often be very extreme, which can include incarceration and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for initial offenders, the court may decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction 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 Greenville who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe punishment, many will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
