DUI/DWI offenders in Faulkton, South Dakota are sometimes given the option to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment program in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for such crimes can occasionally be very harsh, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the court will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Faulkton, South Dakota who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more extreme penalties, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
