DUI/DWI offenders in Chester are sometimes given the opportunity to take advantage of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in lieu of consequences for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The consequences for such criminal offenses can occasionally be rather severe, which can include incarceration and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs to pay for being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for initial offenders, the judge will decide that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in treatment is will prove more effective in the long run for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Chester who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in this rehab process instead of other far more serious penalties, many will remain away from the court system permanently.
