DUI/DWI offenders in Addison, PA. are sometimes given the chance to participate in a drug rehab center in lieu of penalties for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of offenses can often be very harsh, and may include incarceration and substantial fines and various significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol abuse in drug or alcohol rehab is a better decision in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Addison, PA. that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more serious consequences, a great number will stay out of the court system for good.
