DUI/DWI offenders in Dresher are occasionally given the option to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment facility in lieu of consequences for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for these types of offenses can often be very serious, and may include jail time and serious fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Often, particularly for new offenders, the court finds that treating the concerns of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is going to be more effective in the long run for effectively addressing the issue. For DUI/DWI offenders in Dresher that are lucky enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment instead of other more serious consequences, many will stay out of the court system for good.
