DUI/DWI offenders in Cedarburg are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can often be quite harsh, including incarceration and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Cedarburg that are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional serious penalties, most will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
