DUI/DWI offenders in Star, Idaho are occasionally given the chance to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for such offenses can often be rather harsh, including incarceration and significant fines and other absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for first time offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Star, Idaho that are lucky enough to be permitted to participate in this rehab process in lieu of other more serious consequences, most will stay out of the criminal justice system permanently.
