DUI/DWI offenders in Chester are sometimes given the option to take advantage of a drug rehabilitation facility instead of penalties for their drug or alcohol related offenses. The consequences for these types of crimes can often be quite serious, and may include jail time and serious fines and other significant costs to pay for being in court for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, especially for new offenders, the court may decide that treating the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long term for effectively addressing the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Chester who are fortunate enough to be permitted to take part in this rehab process instead of other far more extreme penalties, many will remain away from the criminal justice system permanently.
