DUI/DWI offenders in Fort Howard are often given the opportunity to participate in a drug treatment program in lieu of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of crimes can often be quite serious, which can include jail time and significant fines and even significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the concerns of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Fort Howard who are fortunate enough to be able to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more severe consequences, most will stay out of the criminal justice system for good.
