DUI/DWI offenders in Faribault, Minnesota are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related crimes. Penalties for such crimes can often be quite harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long run for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Faribault, Minnesota who are lucky enough to be able to take part in this rehab process instead of other additional severe consequences, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
