DUI/DWI offenders in St. Paul Park, MN. are often given the chance to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of crimes can often be quite harsh, and may include jail time and significant fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in St. Paul Park, MN. that are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more severe consequences, a great number will remain away from the criminal justice system for good.
