DUI/DWI offenders in Maple Grove are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of offenses can often be rather extreme, including being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system will decide that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Maple Grove that are fortunate enough to be able to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more extreme penalties, most will stay away from the court system for good.
