DUI/DWI offenders in West Mineral are often given the opportunity to take part in a drug treatment program in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment 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 to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, particularly for initial offenders, the judge will decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in West Mineral that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other far more severe consequences, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
