DUI/DWI offenders in Sanostee are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center as opposed to receiving other consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The punishment for such offenses can often be quite extreme, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and various significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long run for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Sanostee who are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment instead of other far more severe consequences, many will remain out of the criminal justice system permanently.
