DUI/DWI offenders in Carbondale, PA. are occasionally given the option to take part in a drug rehab facility in lieu of penalties for their alcohol or drug related offenses. Penalties for such criminal offenses can ordinarily be very harsh, including jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Frequently, particularly for first time offenders, the criminal justice system may decide that treating the concerns of alcohol and drug addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Carbondale, PA. that are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other more severe punishment, many will stay away from the criminal justice system for good.
