DUI/DWI offenders in Turtle River are often given the opportunity to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program instead of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The punishment for these types of crimes can ordinarily be quite extreme, which can include jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for new offenders, the judge may decide that addressing the issues of alcohol and drug abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for curbing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Turtle River that are fortunate enough to be permitted to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more severe consequences, most will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
