DUI/DWI offenders in Maud are often given the chance to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program instead of consequences for their alcohol or drug related criminal offenses. The consequences for these types of crimes can often be rather serious, including incarceration and serious fines and various significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for first time offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the problems of alcohol and drug addiction in treatment is going to be more effective in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Maud that are fortunate enough to be allowed to take part in this rehab process instead of other more severe consequences, a great number will stay out of the court system for good.
