DUI/DWI offenders in Seeley Lake are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other penalties for their drug or alcohol related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of offenses can occasionally be quite severe, which can include incarceration and serious fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Seeley Lake who are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other additional severe punishment, many will remain away from the court system permanently.
