DUI/DWI offenders in Hitterdal, Minnesota are sometimes given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab program instead of penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can often be quite serious, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for initial offenders, the judge finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Hitterdal, Minnesota who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional extreme penalties, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
