DUI/DWI offenders in Sand Lake are sometimes given the opportunity to take part in a drug rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be quite harsh, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for new offenders, the court will decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Sand Lake who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other more serious penalties, most will remain away from the court system permanently.
