DUI/DWI offenders in Wellington, Nevada are often given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these types of offenses can occasionally be very severe, including incarceration and serious fines and various significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Wellington that are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more serious penalties, most will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
