DUI/DWI offenders in Marine On St. Croix are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment center as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these types of criminal offenses can ordinarily be very extreme, including incarceration and significant fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Marine On St. Croix that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more severe consequences, a great number will stay away from the court system permanently.
