Brillion, Wisconsin - DUI/DWI Offenders

Drinking and driving, or driving while under the influence are serious offenses not to be taken lightly. Although each state has its own way of handling DUI/DWI offenders, there are some generalities that can be expected. Depending on the severity of the driver's intoxication and how strict the state laws are, they may have to serve a jail sentence for their offense. Once this is completed they will most likely have additional retribution to do in order to drive a vehicle again. Many states require the person to go through counseling and/or therapy to aid in their recovery process. Often these counseling sessions are held in a group setting by either an addiction recovery professional or a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. The state will require a set number of therapy hours that the DUI/DWI offender will need to attend.
