DUI/DWI offenders in St. Charles, SD. are often given the opportunity to take part in a drug rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be quite extreme, and may include incarceration and serious fines and various significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in St. Charles, SD. who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other additional extreme punishment, a great number will stay away from the court system permanently.
