DUI/DWI offenders in Snow Lake are sometimes given the chance to take advantage of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for such offenses can ordinarily be very extreme, including incarceration and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, especially for initial offenders, the court may decide that treating the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long term for curbing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Snow Lake who are lucky enough to be allowed to take part in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious consequences, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
