DUI/DWI offenders in Blooming Prairie, MN. are sometimes given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can often be very serious, and may include incarceration and substantial fines and even significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the judge may decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Blooming Prairie, MN. that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional severe penalties, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
