DUI/DWI offenders in Westland are often given the option to participate in a drug rehab program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for such offenses can often be rather harsh, which can include jail time and significant fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for new offenders, the judge may decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Westland who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious punishment, most will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
