DUI/DWI offenders in Wendell, Minnesota are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of an alcohol and drug treatment program instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can often be quite harsh, and may include jail time and serious fines and various significant costs associated with being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for new offenders, the judge will decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Wendell, Minnesota who are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more serious penalties, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
