DUI/DWI offenders in Interior, SD. are often given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of offenses can ordinarily be very serious, including being locked up in jail and serious fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Interior, SD. that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other more serious punishment, a great number will remain out of the court system permanently.
