DUI/DWI offenders in Decorah, IA. are occasionally given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug rehabilitation center as opposed to receiving other punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can often be quite harsh, including jail time and serious fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for new offenders, the judge finds that treating the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Decorah, IA. who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more severe penalties, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
