DUI/DWI offenders in Bozeman are occasionally given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of criminal offenses can occasionally be quite severe, including incarceration and substantial fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Bozeman that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme penalties, most will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
