DUI/DWI offenders in Lewistown, MT. are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for such offenses can occasionally be very severe, which can include jail time and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for new offenders, the court finds that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lewistown, MT. that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other additional serious penalties, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
