DUI/DWI offenders in Berwind are sometimes given the chance to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related offenses. Penalties for these kinds of offenses can ordinarily be rather severe, including incarceration and serious fines and other significant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, especially for first time offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol addiction in treatment is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Berwind who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process in lieu of other additional extreme consequences, a great number will stay away from the criminal justice system permanently.
