DUI/DWI offenders in Lost Springs are sometimes given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of offenses can often be quite severe, which can include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Lost Springs that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional severe penalties, most will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
