DUI/DWI offenders in Lamoure, North Dakota are often given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be quite serious, including incarceration and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the court finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lamoure, North Dakota that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more severe penalties, most will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
