DUI/DWI offenders in Dupree, SD. are often given the option to take advantage of a drug rehabilitation center as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for these kinds of crimes can ordinarily be quite harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and serious fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for first time offenders, the judge finds that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Dupree, SD. that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other more severe consequences, a great number will remain away from the court system permanently.
