DUI/DWI offenders in Scott Depot are often given the chance to take advantage of a drug treatment facility instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of crimes can occasionally be rather harsh, which can include incarceration and serious fines and other absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for initial offenders, the court finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Scott Depot that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other more serious punishment, a great number will remain out of the court system permanently.
