DUI/DWI offenders in Slinger are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program instead of punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for these types of crimes can often be very harsh, including jail time and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem.
