DUI/DWI offenders in Du Bois, Pennsylvania are sometimes given the option to participate in a drug rehabilitation center as opposed to receiving other punishment for their alcohol or drug related crimes. Penalties for such offenses can often be very harsh, including jail time and substantial fines and various absorbitant costs associated with being in court for and/or found guilty of DUI/DWI. Often, specifically for new offenders, the court finds that addressing the problems of drug or alcohol addiction in drug rehab is will prove more effective in the long term for curbing the problem.
