DUI/DWI offenders in Connoquenessing are occasionally given the opportunity to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment facility instead of punishment for their alcohol or drug related offenses. The consequences for these kinds of criminal offenses can ordinarily be very serious, and may include incarceration and significant fines and even absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. More often than not, particularly for first time offenders, the court finds that addressing the issues of drug or alcohol abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Connoquenessing who are lucky enough to be permitted to take part in such treatment in lieu of other far more severe consequences, a great number will remain out of the criminal justice system for good.
