DUI/DWI offenders in Balta, North Dakota frequently find that they are burdened with severe penalties because of their DUI or DWI which could include time in jail and other penalties which may afflict them for years. In lieu of such penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes court ordered to take part in a Balta, North Dakota drug and alcohol rehab program to address their problems with drug addiction. Ordering or making the recommendation that DUI/DWI offenders participate in drug rehab has worked not just in addressing problems concerning substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently.
