DUI/DWI offenders in New Rockford often find that they are going to have to deal with severe penalties because of their DUI or DWI including incarceration and other penalties which may haunt them for many years. Instead of of these penalties or to reduce some of them, many DUI/DWI offenders are given the option of or possibly court ordered to take part in a New Rockford drug and alcohol treatment program to address their issues with drug abuse. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders receive treatment in drug and alcohol rehabilitation has proven effective not only in treating problems concerning substance abuse but also in keeping them away from the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given this chance become rehabilitated, having a great influence not just on the DUI or DWI offender but on the criminal justice and society itself.
