DUI/DWI offenders in Mchenry, North Dakota are often given the opportunity to participate in a drug treatment program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of criminal offenses can often be quite severe, which can include jail time and serious fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for new offenders, the court finds that addressing 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 problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Mchenry, North Dakota who are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme consequences, a great number will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
