DUI/DWI offenders in Wadena, Minnesota are sometimes given the opportunity to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these types of criminal offenses can often be quite serious, which can include being locked up in jail and significant fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Wadena, Minnesota who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more severe penalties, most will stay out of the court system permanently.
