DUI/DWI offenders in Valentine are occasionally 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. The consequences for these types of offenses can often be quite severe, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various significant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, specifically for new offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Valentine who are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious consequences, most will remain out of the court system for good.
