DUI/DWI offenders in St. Michael, Minnesota are occasionally given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for such crimes can occasionally be rather severe, including being locked up in jail and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in St. Michael, Minnesota who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment instead of other additional serious consequences, most will remain out of the court system for good.
