DUI/DWI offenders in Butterfield, Minnesota are sometimes given the option to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehab center in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these types of crimes can ordinarily be quite extreme, including incarceration and substantial fines and other significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the court may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Butterfield, Minnesota that are lucky enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more severe consequences, many will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
