DUI/DWI offenders in East Grand Forks frequently find themselves dealt extreme punishment for their offenses such as jail time and other penalties which can affect them for years. Instead of of such penalties or to reduce some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or sometimes ordered by the court to participate in an East Grand Forks drug treatment center to handle their problems with drug addiction. Court ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug rehab has proven effective not only in treating issues relating to drug addiction but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system permanently. A great number of DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot end up rehabilitated, having a positive effect not only on the individual in treatment but on the criminal justice and society itself.
