DUI/DWI offenders in Neche are occasionally given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol treatment center as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of offenses can often be rather serious, which can include incarceration and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for first time offenders, the court finds that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Neche who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other more extreme punishment, most will stay away from the court system permanently.
