DUI/DWI offenders in Courtenay, ND. are often given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for such crimes can often be very harsh, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, specifically for initial offenders, the judge finds that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Courtenay, ND. who are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other more serious penalties, many will stay out of the court system for good.
