DUI/DWI offenders in Divide are occasionally given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. The punishment for such crimes can ordinarily be rather harsh, and may include being locked up in jail and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being prosecuted and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for new offenders, the court will decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Divide who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other more severe punishment, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
