People in Denmark with DUI/DWI are sometimes court ordered to attend an alcohol or drug rehab center, usually when they are first time offenders and in lieu of other stiff justice actions. Although being sentenced with a DUI/DWI in Denmark usually comes with hefty fines and even incarceration in some cases, the criminal justice system is at times more apt to help rehabilitate the person instead of punishing them. Allowing individuals with DUI/DWI to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility as an alternative to other methods of punishment has shown to be effective in keeping people in Denmark out of the criminal justice system because of DUI/DWI in the future.
