DUI/DWI offenders in Flensburg, MN. are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for such criminal offenses can often be rather serious, including jail time and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for new offenders, the court will decide that treating the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Flensburg, MN. who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment instead of other far more serious penalties, most will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
