DUI/DWI offenders in St. Ansgar may very well find themselves burdened with serious legal penalties for their criminal offenses such as incarceration and other consequences which can affect them for many years. In lieu of such consequences or to lessen some of them, some DUI/DWI offenders are offered or even court ordered to participate in a St. Ansgar drug and alcohol treatment facility to handle their issues with drug abuse. Ordering or recommending that DUI/DWI offenders take part in drug rehab has proven effective not only in handling issues concerning drug or alcohol addiction but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for good. Many DUI/DWI offenders who are given one shot become rehabbed, having a beneficial effect not only on the offender but on the court system and society itself.
