DUI/DWI offenders in Balsam Lake, WI. are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite extreme, and may include jail time and serious fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the judge finds that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Balsam Lake, WI. that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other more extreme punishment, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
