DUI/DWI offenders in Cotton, Minnesota are occasionally given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab center in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be quite serious, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for new offenders, the judge will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Cotton, Minnesota that are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe penalties, many will remain away from the court system permanently.
