DUI/DWI offenders in Parkers Prairie are often given the opportunity to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can often be rather extreme, and may include incarceration and serious fines and various significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Parkers Prairie that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other additional extreme consequences, many will stay out of the court system for good.
