DUI/DWI offenders in Presho are often given the opportunity to take part in a drug treatment facility in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for such crimes can ordinarily be very extreme, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for first time offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Presho that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other far more extreme penalties, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
