DUI/DWI offenders in Parshall are sometimes given the chance to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. Penalties for these kinds of crimes can often be very extreme, including incarceration and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system finds that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Parshall that are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more severe punishment, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
