DUI/DWI offenders in Wilkinsburg are often given the opportunity to take part in a drug rehab program in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for such offenses can often be very extreme, and may include incarceration and serious fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Wilkinsburg who are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional severe consequences, a great number will stay out of the court system for good.
